I think we got the best all around use guy..and one ZC likely meshes with the best We have 2 legit intruiging talents we need to actually develop and grow with their ups and downs.. Wilson is already about to I bet become a top 3 in the league...only do many balls to go around...the fact we have a real o.c this yr is prob the biggest get...a real one last yr could have got way more outta or offence but we got saddled with an Osh pick and a right dud

Perfectly serviceable last year? I’m sorry, that’s way over the top if you’re referring to JT’s play last year. He wasn’t asked to do much other than you know his job. You know it’s okay to admit it had nothing to do with asking him to do too much and he was not perfectly serviceable last year (please see stats) without being accused of being mean to him.

Westerman, Randle, and Legette. Three guys that transformed our D.

The DL used to be our strength when we won two Grey Cups. Since 2021, it's become a throw away position with guys who never would have made those teams in 19 & 21 becoming starters. No desire by Walters, Osh or Younger to rebuild it. Speaking of Younger, I'm actually amazed that he never started an entire defense of defensive backs.

Nothing to explain. They used to do a better job of managing the DL

Nyquist is on the 1st line. What a well deserved promotion!

As a player...he would have been gone off any other roster prob 3..4 yrs ago...at best end roster guy standing around all game in case the other DT's went out...would never had reps at end like here over actual ends either...his lifeline was Osh I'm sure hes a swell guy..but that doesn't constitute playing time.. and sure he worked hard and was a good teammate.. who here didnt or wasnt? Again...not a reason for a 4 yr free ride...the ire he got was justified as he basically sucked for yrs..and i guess osh is to blame partly for that as he enabled it We've seen a lot of Osh's picks too...player and coach...and some were pathetic and unjustified too...proof is in the puddin that Osh makes a lot of bad picks But like I said earlier...won't make or break us...just a dumb mercy hire really Who got the least amount of reps then..when he was actually somewhat adequate for spelling guys off? That why was solid...yrs later and half the adequate player he was...he got lions share...plus reps at end over actual ends...do explain the science of that

3 or 4 days ago there were 3 top WRs about to hit the market... all three are now signed and we landed one of them... some people are going to complain we didn't get the best one... but I think the reality is the other two probably weren't realistically coming here... I am happy we went out and got a legit talent. Ford the QB is a natural replacement for Demski the slotback?... I might agree if Ford gave any indication he was willing/interesting in switching positions...

I have a hard time seeing that as earned tho either..and is a kick to the corn flakes to actual coaches working and putting in the time at varying levels And I not a grumpy senior lol...but coach..train and see what coaches do...could care less how a middling dt acted during his career...irrelevant... I do have a mean streak tho 😁 Nah...he can still play at top level...its durability and stagnating depth behind him Its Kramdi who def isnt best option for SAM...is not needed for ratio and is gonna be our second highest paid defender likely

QBs hardly ever threw to Randle's side of the field #randleisland Westerman brought heat and was a great leader Legette was a literal swiss army knife

FWIW, this analysis has us as a possible destination for Ford. Not sure I entirely agree with that but we do need a backup with legitimate experience. I wouldn't be opposed to it if we could make it work financially - like a bonus heavy contract that would only payout if Zach gets hurt or something. https://www.cfl.ca/2026/01/30/3-potential-landing-spots-for-tre-ford

Westerman was huge for us. He doesn’t get enough credit for his role in turning the club around.

Thinking back to the DL when they had Westerman, a younger Jeffcoat, Corney, Nevis, JT rotating, etc. That was a solid group

FIFY

Powell is FAR superior to Ford. This isn't even debatable.

Felt like Ceresna singlehandedly beat us in the Grey Cup a couple years back..... Just dominated the line of scrimmage all game
